That four-game sweep in San Diego last week?

Whatever.

It was a lifetime ago.

It’s a new day and a new series, this time with the Houston Astros, a team the Colorado Rockies swept last week that has now lost eight in a row. To be fair, the Astros have be devastated by injuries.

Taking the mound for the Rockies will be RHP Michael Lorenzen.

Currently, he has an ERA of 8.36 in 14.0 IP. He’s struck out 10 while giving up 4 walks and 3 home runs with a 2.14 WHIP.

Starting for the Astros is Colton Gordon, who was recalled from the Triple-A Sugar Land Space Cowboys on Monday. He has started three MiLB games and has a 1.76 ERA in 15.1 IP.

And now to the details.
